Abstract. Pig breeding is inevitably accompanied by an attack on animals a large number of flies. Effective fly control requires biological information about the dynamics population over seasons. The aim study was to determine and species composition flies in conditions Khatas pig farm winter. Methods. In farm, during technological cycle production December 2021, studies were carried out To cou...

The type material of species of Calyptratae Diptera belonging to Anthomyiidae, Calliphoridae, Fanniidae, Muscidae, Sarcophagidae, and Tachinidae, housed in the collections of non-traditional institutions in Argentina were examined. These collections were included in the recently created "Sistema Nacional de Datos Biológicos" (National Biological Data System). We examined four collections: "Admi...

Large sticky traps were evaluated for stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), and house fly, Musca domestica L., (Diptera: Muscidae) capture under field conditions in 5 dairy calf greenhouse facilities in New York. The farm with the highest stable fly capture had the highest house fly capture, and the farm with the lowest stable fly capture had the lowest house fly capture, suggesting that fly ma...

Introduced parasites are a threat to biodiversity when naïve hosts lack effective defenses against such parasites [1]. Several parasites have recently colonized the Galápagos Islands, threatening native bird populations [2]. For example, the introduced parasitic nest fly Philornis downsi (Diptera: Muscidae) has been implicated in the decline of endangered species of Darwin's finches, such as th...

The wild-type eye color of the horn ßy, Hematobia iritans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae), is a dark reddish brown. An apparent spontaneous mutation in a single adult colony ßy resulted in a white-eyed mutant. A colony of white-eyed horn ßies was established from this single individual and has beenmaintained in the laboratory. Laboratory crosses determined that thewhite-eyed phenotype is inherited as ...

We present the results of a study on myiasis in Panama during the first years of a Cochliomyia hominivorax eradication program (1998-2005), with the aim of investigating the behavior of the flies that produce myiasis in animals and human beings. The hosts that registered positive for myiasis were cattle (46.4%), dogs (15.3%), humans (14.7%), birds (12%), pigs (6%), horses (4%), and sheep (1%). ...
